    Hello all I am I am new here!

    I represent a small company that has become more dependent on the sale of our scrap. I joined to research what to do with mixed plastic containing small screws, green boards ect. Large components have been separated. We usually have a semi full a month... (24 skids of unbaled unshredded plastic). Where should I start I am located near the Cleveland area.

    Welcome to the forum. There is lots of information in the old thread and a good starting point are the sticky threads at the top of several of the indivual sections of our forum. Mike.

    Pull the low grade and sell to Ewasted right there in Mentor then ask them what they do with their plastic.

    Plastic with screws would go to the dump. I don't know anybody that takes plastic with any metal in it, it messes up the shreders.
